WEATHERPROCF GARMENT.

-a newand improved weatherproof garment,

preferably in the form of a shirt, more especially designed for use byloggers and other persons and arranged to conceal a weatherproof liningor cape and to allow convenient removal thereof to permit of washing thegarment whenever it is desired to do so. 7

In order to accomplish the desired result use is made of a shirt, a capeforming an integral part of the said shirt and a lining or cape ofweatherproof material and interposed between the said shirt and its capeand held removably therebetween.

A practical embodiment of the invention is represented in theaccompanying draw-- ings forming a part of this specification, in.

which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts inall the views.

Figure 1 is a front perspective view of'the garment as applied; Fig. 2is a rear perspective view of the same; Fig. .3 is a front elevation ofthe garment with parts in section; Fig. 4 is a front elevation of thelining or waterproof cape as it appears when in position between theshirt and cape; Fig. 5 is an enlar ed sectional plan'view of thegarment;-an Fig. 6 is a plan view of the lining or waterproofcape inextended position.

The weatherproof garment consists essentially of a shirt A, a cape Bforming an integral part of the shirt 'A, and, a lining or cape O ofweatherproof material and removably interposed 'between the shirt A andthe cape B. The shirt'A is of usual construction and consistsessentially of a body A, the bosom of which is open at the front asindicated'at A and the shirt is preferably provided with a collar A .andwith the usual sleeves A. sists of a body B open atthe front and'havingthe front edges fastened to the open front A 'by-suitable stitches, thesides of the body B being attached to the sides of the body A. Theshoulder and sleeve portions B of the cape B are seamless and over- Thecape B con- Specification of Letters Patent. l Patented Bea-15, 1914Application filed June 5, 1914. Serial No. 843,156.

lie the corresponding portions. of the shirt and the edge of the capeneck, the, said sleeves B being, secured at their bottom edges to theshirt sleeves A* a distance above the bottoms thereof, as plainlyindicated in 3, the outer ends of .the sleeves B terminating a distancefrom the outer ends g of the shirt sleeves. By this arrangement the capeB is open along the lower edge of the bottom and at the ends of thesleeves B The neck portion of the cape B is sewed to the neckband of theshirt so that the collar 'A readily overlies the cape B. The lining orcape C is formed from a single piece of weatherproof material, such asoiled cloth and the like, and it consists of front flaps ,C spaced apartand merging with the neck C and with the shoulder and sleeve portions Gwhich latter merge with the back C, as plainl shown in Figs. 4 and 6.The front flaps C? are provided adjacent the neck 0 with buttonholes Cadapted to engage buttons D attached to the shirt A at.the front andopposite sides of the opening A and a distance below the neckband, asplainly indicated in Fig. 3. The lining or cape C is a trifle less insize than the cape B and its margin follows'the margin of the cape sothat the lining or cape C is not visible when interposed between theshirt A andthe cape B, as will be readily understood by reference to thedotted lines in Fig. 3. Although fastening devices such as buttons Dand'buttonhole's C are used they are not absolutely necessary as thelining or cape C is held firmly in place between the shirt A and thecape B so as to snugly underlie the latter and is of the same shape.

It will be noticed that by the openings afforded by the detachment ofthe lower end of the back, the lower ends of the flaps B, and the outerends of the sleeves, the lining or cape C can be readily removed frombetween the shirt A and the cape B to allow of washing the garmentwithout danger of ruining the weatherproof lining or cape C, whichlatter can be readily replaced after the garment has been washed anddried.

The back of the cape and the lining or cape C- extend preferably fartherdown than the front, as will be readilyunderstood by reference toFigs-1, 2 and 3, as the back of the garment when in use is more exposedto the weather, especially when it rains or snows,

- than the front.

or caipe detached relatively to the shirt and the cape, it is not liableto bind at any point and hence allows perfect freedom of the body andarms of the user.

It will also be .inotic'ed'that in a dry, warm.

season the lining or cape C, can be readily removed and replacedWhenever needed.

I am' aware that it is not broadly new to interpose a lining between theshirt and the cape, but such ining as heretofore used formed. anintegral part of the shirt and cape and hence could not be removedwhenever it was desired to wash the'garment.

Although'the lining or cape G is shown and described above-as made of asingle piece of weatherprooffabric material it. is evident that it maybemade in sections sewedtogether. f.

' In order to simplify ,the description it has 20.

been deemed advisable' to describe the liningor cape .C as interposedbetween the shirt A-and the cape B but I do not limit myself tmthe outerside of the' body portion and secured permanently thereto," said gapehaving a back portion, sleeveortions'overl'ying the upper portions ofthetshirt sleeves, and front or breast portions extending down over thebreasts of the shirt body, the said cape as aforesaid being permanentlysecured to the shirt body,

but being detached therefrom at the lower edge of the back portion, atthe lower ed es of the front or breast portions, and at t e ends of thesleeve portions, all substantially as described, and a detachablewaterproof cape conforming substantlally to the cape portion. of the.shirt adapted ,to be intro duced betweenthe shi'rtbody and the capethereof by passing the breast portions vof the waterproof cape up underthe backt of the shirt cape and over the shoulders of the shirt proper,and the arm portions of the" waterproof cape drawn outwardly to underlie"the sleeve ,portions of the'shirt cape, all

substantially as and for-the purposefset forth;

In testimony whereof have signed my name to this specification 1n thepresence of two subscribingwitnesses. 4 .sIGMUND LIP-MAN Witnesses:
